    Andrea, what you’ve described is the age-old pull between wanting connection and wanting to feel safe, and really they should be the same thing and so often that isn’t what we experience and so we have to choose. Your empty spaces sound very rewarding, making and growing things – having time to engage in creativity and curiosity – gifts many busy people miss out on. And I understand the loneliness that creeps into that too. We are all your co-adventurers here 🤎

    Maria, you’ve described that clenching and hypervigilence so well, and that chance to feel like yourself in moments outside that is so rare and valuable. The softening and the awareness of the connected feeling in your arms, such magic to know this among the empty spaces.

    “the age-old pull between wanting connection and wanting to feel safe, and really they should be the same thing and so often that isn’t what we experience and so we have to choose.” Should be the same thing. I’m turning that over and over in my hands like it’s a puzzling object.

    Sustained Connection in general terrifies me. SO much potential for careless damage. On both sides.

    So much, yes – and so much potential for quality connection that heals like nothing else does also. Such a quandary 🎭
